PARISH There are people in the world who are afraid to patronize a high grade store , because they infer that prices are higher than in stores which are oper ated on the hit and miss plan sometimes satisfac tion , more often disap pointment. Norfolk peo- . pie are becoming educat ed out of this way of thinking. Parish's policy of gelling the highest grade of goods is having a good effect , and the quality of groceries used is steadily improving. People ple have come to know that it's money saving to buy goods where an ab solute guaranty goes with every purchase. , PARISH The Ohickering pre-eminently the best made. "What is it that gives a man undying fame ? What ief it that makes us revere a fovr brilliant men of letters over the great arniy of mediocre and even very good authors ? It is that they stand for excellence in' ' their various lines of work , that each' has reached as near the ideal as hos'seemed under the circumstances , possible. It is the same excellence , this excell ing all others , that has given the Chick- ering'piano its remarkable place among pianos. The Ohickering Is not merely one of several very good makes , but is decidedly the very best that it is possi ble to purchase. We handle the Chick- ering piauo as a leader , .because , apart from the money considerations , it pleases us to have in our ware-rooms a piano that is a constant sconrce of delight - light not only to visitors but to our selves. The more closely one T > ecomeB associated with the exquisite Ohiqker- ing tone the less can , ho , be patien with the tone of any other , make'whatsoever. .

SUICIDE AT STANTON. An Old Lady , Once Wealthy Dies in Poverty by Her Own Hand. Mrs. Anna M. Eberling of Stanton committed suicide by taking strych nine in her room on the afternoon of July 1. For a number of years Mrs. Eberling has been prominent in Stanton county. Eighteen years ago bhe came to the county with her two fions from Brooklyn , N. Y. , and purchased two sections of laud , erected extensive build ings and engaged in the ranch bnsincHu Her husband was formerly a wholesale liquor dealer of Brooklyn nnd was killed by , a dynamite explosion. Tl o sous became disainated and Mrs. Eber- ling removed with them hero in hopes that a change would wean them .from evil habits. When she came hero her wealth is estimated to have been from between 60,000 and § 80,000. The sons soon exhausted her ready money and the ranch was mortgaged and later sold to satisfy the same. The fcons drifted away and died. Mrs. Eberling re mained in the county contrary to fre qnent requests from a sister residing in Brooklyn , who is wealthy. Since losing her riches she has lived partly from her own efforts and partly upon money received from her sister. Her actions at times have been some what erratic. On several occasions she had threatened to take her own life. Yesterday she went before E. B. Baer , a notary public , and had a document drawn making disposition of what prop erty she had. At 1 o'clock she visited the postoffice , called for her mall and returned to her room , At 1:15 : the told the people living in the lower story that she was going to lie down and ask ed them to call her at 2 o'clock. At the appointed time , finding the door fas tened and being unable to arouse her , they summoned assistance. The window was broken in nnd the old woman was found lying dead on her bed. She had made all preparations for death , disrob ing , putting on night clothes , removing her false teeth and then , taking the poison , lay down bn her bed to die. On the table was a bottle of labeled strych nine. From a rafter near her bed rope was hanging and it is supposed she first contemplated taking her life in that manner. A coroner's Inquest was held and a verdict rendered in accord ance with the above facts. . We have twelve lots at Junction , be tween First and Fourth streets. Bell at a bargain if sold at once.
